  • SMOKED BEEF BRISKET RAFFLE
    FOR NITA MAYO

As most of you know, August 8, 2006 will mark the one year
anniversary since our beloved Nita Mayo went missing.  Many of
us have agonized over the disappearance of our dear friend.  The
family would like everyone to know that the searches will continue
until she is found.  

The family is having a plaque made with Nita’s picture and
information on it for this dedication ceremony.  This plaque will
ensure that everyone who visits the pass will see her picture, know
her story and be looking for her.  Once again we are asking
everyone to reach into their heart and maintain that continued
kindness and encouragement that you have all shown this family.  

Matt Taylor, Nita’s son-in-law, will be smoking a 10 to 15 pound
beef brisket in hickory chips on August 11th and would like to
raffle it off to one lucky winner.  Tickets will go on sale today for
$5.00 a piece to win this tasty treat.  Proceeds from this raffle will
help cover the costs for the dedication ceremony and plaque.

The tickets will be available at Mt. Grant General
Hospital or for more information please call Kris
Stinson at 945-2461.

M-400 of "Missing," which is scheduled for

we hope that the segment will be of some help to

Thanks and kind regards,

it is our Mom's birthday, it will also have
been 6 months since her disappearance.

  • Search:  June 24-25

Joe Fedor has planned to go to the Donnell Vista to conduct a
search on the 24th and 25th of June.  If there is anyone who
would like to help Joe or offer assistance of any type, please
contact him at Smokey600@aol.com.

If anyone knows of a dog team that would be able to offer Joe
assistance that weekend, we would like to hear from you as well.

The following is from Joe telling what his plans are:

I've been in contact with a few climbing groups, it seems
all their calendars are free the weekend of June 24-25,
Saturday/Sunday, I'm not sure on the # of climbers yet, so far
including myself 4 for sure. Do you have contact with the
climbers who were there last year? I would like to get a few of
them at least so I know what they did & add their expertise.I
would love to fully rule out this cliff area at Donnell, but just the
caverns I found at the bottom of some crevices make me think
this area has not been thoroughly searched. There are many
crevices that angle at the bottom
& have large voids at their base, undetectable unless you climb
in there. We are trying to get Mike Melson to do a fly over with
his plane & take aerial images, then enlarge them & form
quadrants to search & mark off as we search. If you have
contact with a guy with a search dog, that would be great too.
We may see if Tim is free that weekend too, he has a unique
flying photographing miniature plane for
viewing we can use.
Hi, everyone. This is Rick, a producer at
America's Most Wanted. As Nita's children
know, we are planning to have camera
crews in Sonora, Fargo and Hawthorne for
the vigil on Thursday. But to include as
many of the vigils as possible in our story,
we were wondering if we can get a little help
from those who will be having prayer vigils in
other cities. We are looking for individuals
who could use their home video cameras to
shoot a few minutes of video at their prayer
vigils. This would help us to show the
national scope (even INTERNATIONAL
scope if we get video from the vigil in
England) and show our viewers just how
loved Nita is by family, friends and
well-wishers -- all gathering to pray at the
same time for Nita's return. If you are able to
take a few minutes of video for us, please
contact me before the vigil (email to

rsegall@amw.com
or call 847-302-5406).
Thanks so much.
  • Race For the Missing

The event that Mom will be part of is an ASA
Speed Truck event being held at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway (the bullring as it is called).  
June 17th the event will be taped delayed on a
channel to be determined (Outdoor Life
Network I think?).  Cassie Gannis is the
newest addition to the program and besides
her natural talent as a race car driver she is a
great student who is a polite and well
mannered young lady with lots of potential on
and off the track. Cassie is just fifteen now
and we are proud to have her and her family
on board.  Each team running our program
does this without benefit of any monetary
relief and at there own expense making it even
more valuable to us as they do this out of
respect for those many families not knowing
where their loved ones are.

Cassie will also run there Legend car on Friday
night June 16th and Mom will also be present
on this race car as well! For more information
about the series Nita will be profiled in go to
